Cenzura

U Kanadi je zabranjen hit Dire Straitsa Money for Nothing.

Razlog je sledeća strofa, odnosno upotreba reči "faggot" u njoj:

The little faggot with the earring and the makeup

Yeah buddy, that's his own hair

That little faggot got his own jet airplane

That little faggot he's a millionaire

Navodno, ovo ugrožava gej populaciju. Ali, kakve veze ima gej populacija sa ovime? Svakom ko je čuo pesmu, je jasno da se faggot ne odnosi na gejeve, već na muzičke zvezde. Navodno, pesma je nastala tako što je pevač Mark Knopfler slušao šta priča prodavac u prodavnici dok je gledao neke spotove na MTV-ju:

The lead character in "Money for Nothing" is a guy who works in the hardware department in a television/custom kitchen/refrigerator/microwave appliance store. He's singing the song. I wrote the song when I was actually in the store. I borrowed a bit of paper and started to write the song down in the store. I wanted to use a lot of the language that the real guy actually used when I heard him, because it was more real.

Kad smo već kod toga, ovo se nekada smatralo vrhuncem kompjuterske animacije:
